My son is now married to a christian, they have 3 beautiful children and they attend a local church where my son plays the guitar in the worship group. I just give thanks each day and pray that the Lord will continue to hold his hand.<br>Thank you so much for sharing what so many need to hear, even those of us who have gone through it. <br>Blessings, Jean xHoneycombshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09445864864063615992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-89112697221758047242009-08-11T09:35:19.984-04:002009-08-11T09:35:19.984-04:00Marilyn...my thoughts exactly...and that&#39;s wha...Marilyn...my thoughts exactly...and that&#39;s what&#39;s so sad.....that it may take losing one of their own to the world (or a grandchild) for them to have any empathy. It&#39;s hearing a preacher counsel parent&#39;s of prodigals to shun them and cut them out of their lives that is really scarey...I wonder....will they follow their own counsel, if their child strays?Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04798124104168438303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-61090895859522628212009-08-11T09:31:15.138-04:002009-08-11T09:31:15.138-04:00Such perfect timing...My husband and I are in much...Such perfect timing...<br><br>My husband and I are in much prayer at this very moment for one of our daughters, making a wrong decision...Thank you as we all join one another in the need of prayer for our Prodigals.<br><br>God bless you...<br>HOPE~HOPEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14593612195595034233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-28336304248711413102009-08-11T09:18:52.767-04:002009-08-11T09:18:52.767-04:00Aliene,You have put into words what so many of us ...Aliene,<br>You have put into words what so many of us have either felt in the past or are feeling at the present about our grown children. May God help us as Mothers to always hold our children up to the throne of God in prayer!<br><br>I get a &quot;righteous indignation&quot;....or maybe just plaine &quot;mad&quot;...when I hear a preacher get up and say if you raise your kids right they will not go astray! It&#39;s always one whose kids are still in church. Oh, the kids may have so much stinking pride in their &quot;goodness&quot; that you can hardly stand to be around them but he can&#39;t see that. I have come to the conclusion that they will never know any better unless they too have faced a wayward child!<br><br>May God bless our children!<br><br>MarilynMarilyn in Mississippihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-56974768105516369762009-08-11T09:04:27.827-04:002009-08-11T09:04:27.827-04:00Thanks for posting this Aliene.

Yes, we need to be praying for each other&#39;s children.<br>I too have heard preachers teach, &quot;Train up a child....and when he is old he will not depart....&quot; saying if we just train our children properly, they&#39;ll &#39;turn out&#39; right....as if they are cookies....and if they don&#39;t, we must have messed up the recipe.<br>But then I also heard a preacher&#39;s wife, who has a prodigal child say...but how old is old?! We may have many years before &#39;they are old&#39; in God&#39;s eyes. In the meantime, we need to stay faithful and trust in the Lord to do a work in their hearts.Deborahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04798124104168438303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040609963003203385.post-35459639051979073832009-08-11T08:57:03.688-04:002009-08-11T08:57:03.688-04:00I loved that.

I too have two wayward children - one unsaved - who value everything this world has above God. :( I am praying for them to have a prodigal&#39;s sprit, that is, that they will get to the end of themselves and return to their Father.<br><br>I too was once critical of &quot;parents&quot; who had wayward teens, thinking that they should be able to control them. How foolish. God gives us free will, and the later teen years, are a time when they have full freedom to exercise this God given freewill, regardless of how it breaks our hearts! <br><br>I have a blogroll, in fact, this blogroll is part of it, which is how I found this post - but would you mind if I reposted this on it?
